Blueskywaves.....When you post morning, noon and night trying to convince us shareholders to give you guys more options, do you get overtime in the form of time and a half or do you get more options? Good luck in your quest, but my mind is already made up!
* Tate was brought back as CEO in Dec 1999 under special circumstances so he got a one-time 2M share deal; It was not a typical grant as you imply. Also, that 2M share deal is included in total of the ISOs grants outstanding, so it inflates the total grants due to this special case.
* Shareholders had their eyes wide open on the Tate deal and they specifically chose the deal. This is similar to Mr. Jobs returning to Apple under a special stock deal at the REQUEST of shareholders.
You ignore the most important comparisons e.g.
* Rate of grants is double at IDCC; * Stock buyback to minimize dilution from ISO; * Longer vesting periods; * Some options are earmarked for customers to meet product development targets;
